Essence Capture⁣ - Breaking News⁣ (Uncommon)⁣ [10]

Essence Capture counters a creature spell and allows you to place a +1/+1 counter on one of your creatures. This dual functionality supports both control strategies and creature enhancement, making it useful in blue-based decks that aim to maintain board presence. However, its effectiveness is limited to creature spells, so it won't help against non-creature threats.
